Possibly relevant, the devices file contains a "PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
stanza as well as a "Name="DLL0641:00 06CB:7621 UNKNOWN"" stanza 06cb is
the vendor ID for synaptics.

Title:
  dell inspiron touchpad stops working

Status in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series according to the laptop sticker.
  The clickpad generally works fine but sometimes locks up. By locking
  up I mean that using the trackpad to move the cursor doesn't work but
  using the trackpad to click still does. Sometimes the two finger
  scroll seems to carry on working and sometimes it doesn't.

  I'm not sure of a pattern, sometimes it seems to happen directly after
  logging in, though it has happened at the login screen before.
  Sometimes it seems to be triggered by two finger scrolling, in this
  case the scrolling always seems to carry on working and usually after
  scrobbling about on the touchpad it seems to start working again. It
  always seems to happen after doing a fast user switch and in this case
  the scrolling doesn't work at all.

  The problem existed in 14.04 and upgrading to 14.10 didn't make it go
  away.
